the opthomologst says I have a crease behind my retina. In

Resolved Question:

the opthomologst says I have a crease behind my retina. In Sept. I had cataract surgery in both eyes. A month ago he said i needed a "yag" - left eye first. my vision was worse after the yag and inferior to the right eye - which has not had the yag. I recently become ill and had to take antibiotics - after a few days tye eye felt like something was in it and become very inflamed with the vision worse. It seemed like the laser was used more then necessary - could it have injured the eye more. also should i have the "yag" in the right eye. Thank you , dee - XXX@XXXXXX.XXX

In general, after Yag laser to remove scar tissue (or film) from the cataract lens implant, your vision should improve. However, if it has gotten worse and stayed decreased compared to prior the procedure, then it is likely that more than necessary laser was applied or the intensity was too high and so caused inflammation and swelling of the retina (macular edema). In that case, your eye doctor should closely evaluate and start you on prednisolone and Acular eye drops. You should also be evaluated with OCT and by retinal eye doctor. Your right eye could wait until you have a better understanding of what is going on with the left eye.

Dr. Stan - thank you for your answer. I forgot to tell you that I was given prednosolon generic for pred norte 1% op sus . I used this 4 times a day for about the first week then reduced to 2 times. The eye was red but not exactly like it has been the past week. Also, watery. Should I get a second opinion. Thank you, p.s Will stop by his office tomorrow. dee, XXXXX@XXXXXX.XXX

If the poor vision persists or worsen, a second opinion with a retinal eye doctor is appropriate. You may even need a subtenons or subconjunctival Kenalog injection to help resolve this problem. Ask your current eye doctor about the possibility.
